Barca feelings run deep for Fabregas

Cesc Fabregas has explained why Barcelona hold such an emotional pull over him but admitted Arsene Wenger has convinced him to stay at Arsenal. Fabregas has long been linked with a return to Barca, the club where he started his career as a youth player, but Arsenal are unwilling to let one of their star players leave and have already turned down a £29million bid from the Catalan giants.The 23-year-old admits he is drawn to Barca, having supported the club for his whole life, but says a recent conversation with Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger has left him in doubt as to where is future lies."I'm a Barca fan, I'm a socio, as is my grandfather, my uncle, my cousin. I have felt the colours from a young age, I'm Catalan," Fabregas said in an interview to magazine DIR Emotions."However, I'm the captain of Arsenal, I'm a 'Gunner', and I have become a player there and matured as a person."During that time, Fabregas has grown up under the tutelage of Wenger and the Spain midfielder says the Arsenal coach is like a second father for him."He is a second father for me, the most important person in my life after my father. He has behaved really well with me and taken me in like a son. I am part of his family," he said."He doesn't want me to leave. And in my last conversation with him in London, it was one of the most difficult moments I have experienced. I ended up very upset."
